Polynomial contrasts in Linear Mixed Models (MIXED)

Question & Answer


Question

I am using the MIXED procedure (Analyze->Mixed Models->Linear) in IBM SPSS Statistics. I have a time factor with 4 levels and would like to test polynomial contrasts involving that factor. I do not see a Contrast option in the Linear Mixed Models dialog or the MIXED command syntax chart. How would I request linear, quadratic, and cubic contrasts, for example, in MIXED?
